The golf co-curricular activity has been a major success this year. Kids have been flooding the course every day. The range has been packed, and there are lots of young, talented golfers out there. There are also a lot of beginners this year. So far, the weather has been great for golf, and it is only getting warmer. The Lake Placid Club is happy to see the course filled with Northwood kids each afternoon. It is great exercise and time outdoors.
“I feel like the vibes on the course this season have been great. Every time my friends and I go out, we end up finding some other groups from Northwood and playing with them. Everyone is so nice, and it is fun to teach the newcomers. I feel like golf brings everyone together,” junior Luke Smith said.
Victor Ghanimé ’27 joined the golf co-co this spring. Victor joined because there is a golf course next to his home. He says it is very beautiful and ranks it as his third-best golf course he has played. He also plays with other new people so he can teach them. Additionally, he thinks it is a great hobby because of the outdoor time you get and because driving the golf cart is fun.
Justin MacLeod ‘26 mentions a great point. “There are three major sports at this school, and golf brings everyone from each sport,” MacLeod said. He says golf is a fantastic way to relax and blow off steam after a rough school day or finals week.
